Bought for $1200.Judging by the horse crap under the car and the lucerne in the boot she towed Phar Lap by the last owner (female)

It has:.Pedders springs and shocks (air in the rear).Extractors and a 2 1/2 sports exhaust.Slotted and Drilled fronts.244k on the clock (engine smoothe, no smoke, well serviced).4 speed Auto (perfect changes when at normal operating temp)

So Far:.Got rid of the 17" mags and put 16" Ford XR6 Sharktooth rims and new rubber.Full brakes system overhaul.Steering rack, ball joints and rear nolethane .That's $1700 on the above work

To Do:.Bumpers, the previous horse lovin owner seems to have used the front bumper for rounding up!.Rust in sills and drivers side front guard.Small weep in sump from a rock strike.Sort oil leaks and major undercar clean up (see pic from leak and shagged steering rack)

NC Dislikes:.Mainly the cost of restoration (worth it tho when she's rumbling with AC/DC or The Doors playing on the open road).Small annoying repairs from wipers to exhaust (it's a huge job and takes many, many Sundays)

Overall Rating:Pretty happy with the NC Fairlane!It's a stylish cruiser with a good V8 driveline for Fordmodders who can do without hooning inpounds and Wolloper donations (It will light em up if required tho!)

Looks like a good project base man, and I'm rather surprised to see that rust in the sill!

I have a little bit in the sill on the white Xr8 i need to deal with, nowhere near as much as this, and i have some in the top of the sill due to a piss poor repair on my side skirt by a panel shop who has to remain nameless, to keep the mods happy, but i name & shame them whenever anyone asks me in real life.....

From the pics, looking at the head rests, they don't look like leather, which is a shame, as a nice luxury car like a lane should have leather. I have full leather in my Eb Ghia, and i have the part leather & velour seats that might end up in my Xr8, they are nice too, but not as nice as the full leather seats.
